Part 3/6:
Recently, Cedric Mullins, a prominent player on the team, took the initiative to hold a hitters-only meeting. This gathering was intended to tackle some underlying issues following another disappointing game. Despite winning the series opener, the meeting took place amid growing concerns regarding team performance – a performance that would soon be underscored by a dramatic loss to the New York Yankees.
The Yankees, historically a powerhouse team, took advantage of the Orioles’ struggles, making headlines by hitting back-to-back home runs in their series against Baltimore, ultimately defeating the Orioles 15-3. This crushing defeat only amplified the existing challenges the team faced.
